Is it safe to assume that 2.6.17-r4 has the proper river

2.6.17 is all good no need for the cvs drivers needed |

Anyone still looking for a consol beep should check this out. Doc's say its for the 2.6.2 sources, but the patch in the tarball is for 2.6.16.7 or something. The patch applies fine to the latest vanilla sources, but I had to edit by hand ( all six lines of it ) with the gentoo 2.6.17.4 sources. no compile or runtime problems.

That's good news, although it begs the question of why yours works and mine doesn't.
I just updated to 2.6.17-gentoo-r6 last night. (btw, I used the ALSA in the kernel w/ Intel HD and it works fine.)
Any hints of what to look at? lspci & lsusb doesn't seem to display such a device although I may be missing it. |

None that I know of unfortunately. Normally lspci should list at least something like Multimedia: Intel High Definition Audio. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

|
|
Has anyone had any problems with playing different things at the same time? When I try to, I get a message that says that the device is busy and that it can't connect to it.
This is what I get when running mplayer:
Code: |
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
alsa-init: using device default
alsa-lib: pcm_direct.c:224:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-31992-1158323846-919472: No such file or directory
alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:894:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client
alsa-init: playback open error: No such file or directory
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
[AO ARTS] can't connect to aRts soundserver
[AO ESD] latency: [server: 0.28s, net: 0.00s] (adjust 0.28s)
AO: [esd] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Starting playback...
|
Any ideas? |

This is not specific to this laptop. There are only a few sound cards which can play more than one sound at the same time in hardware, like the Sb live
You need to use the alsa output for all your apps, and software mixing will take place (it doesn't if you use oss emulation).
For mplayer, add this to your config file
Code: | ao=alsa:device=dmix |
And you may want to get rid of arts (or force it to use alsa, I'm not sure if it's possible) |

Well I'm using 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 and I had to patch manually and later correct include in the beep.c:
Code: |
#include </usr/src/linux/include/config/modversions.h>
|
The module is GREAT. For some reason my card will not allow me to set any volume level on the the pc speaker, so no I hear only mild 'pop' sound from good-old Sim City 2000 _________________ --

On 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 internal mic on D620 works only if I select the input in alsa mixed- set it to line, then back to mic. _________________ --

Not sure I understand. Do you do this in alsamixer? Or, which utility? |

Either alsa-mixer, or gnome sound props panel. You just need to flip the switch, select line and then back to mic. _________________ --

I just upgraded alsa, and now the "bass" speaker (underneath) works, sort of. I get full volume on it all the time, unless I mute or turn the volume completely down, then it turns off. The mid/treble speakers (in front) works as expected, with volume control as before. Any ideas?

emerge hsfmodem . The drivers are provided by Linuxant (www.linuxant.com) and are a commercial product. The free ones only run at 14.4 kbps and don't enable fax, but they let you confirm that they work. A license for the full version with all features is about $20 - which for me was well worth the money. Warning - they do replace the ALSA drivers for the sound card. This created problems initially but now everything works properly, however I suspect there will be a lag should any new features be implemented in the mainstream driver. _________________ - Novensiles divi Flamen

The free ones aren't good for anything except testing it works. If you actually need the modem for travelling $20 is worth it - although I'm not entirely happy with the situation it beats no email while on the road. _________________ - Novensiles divi Flamen

By the way, something I found recently: to be able to bind the multimedia buttons in kmix/amarok and any other app of your liking without using a special daemon like lineakd:
Quote: | xmodmap -e 'keycode 174=XF86AudioLowerVolume'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 176=XF86AudioRaiseVolume'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 160=XF86AudioMute'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 153=XF86AudioNext'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 144=XF86AudioPrev'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 162=XF86AudioPlay'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 164=XF86AudioStop' |
Then the shortcuts eg "XF86AudioLowerVolume = Volune -" need to be set in the relevant apps |

What about the media direct button? I kept trying with xmodmap to get it to bring up an instance of mythtv with no success. _________________ [Owner/Operator: Dhampir Dreams]

If you select Dell keyboard in KDE keyboard control then you don't need the three aliases for volume buttons. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys#Determine_the_keycodes . You can also set some of the Fn-X keys that don't operate directly on the bios - although i have two that appear to be changing scancodes every reboot, not yet sure wtf that is about. _________________ - Novensiles divi Flamen

Anyone actually use media direct? I'mtalking the no boot needed dvd player util dell bundles. I'mgoing to try to hook that up to work.
And Vinzc, I'm posting a redone how-to on my Blog. I'm going to go through all this and try to get it as accurate and uptodate as possible. Preferably including both X.org configs for all the possible video cards.
Anyone tried AIGLX or XGL on these things yet? _________________ [Owner/Operator: Dhampir Dreams]
